Scholz promises Ukraine extensive arms supplies
Following the conversation with Scholz, Zelensky will meet Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Efforts to find a peace solution should also be a topic in both talks. Before the visit to Berlin, Zelenskiy was a guest in London, Paris and Rome. Actually, a Ukraine summit with representatives of numerous countries should have taken place on Saturday at the German US weapons base in Ramstein – because US President Joe Biden was due to hurricane Milton but canceled, it was postponed at short notice.
It is the Ukrainian president’s second visit to Germany within five weeks. At the beginning of September, Zelensky took part in a defense ministerial meeting of the allies in Ramstein and met Scholz in Frankfurt am Main. Just three weeks later, the two met again shortly before the UN General Assembly in New York for a conversation.
